CLEAN UP STATEN ISLANDTrash Talk

BP ODDO KICKS OFF NEXT PHASE OF ANTI-LITTER CAMPAIGN

When Borough President James Oddo wages war on litter, it’s a multifaceted approach.

His Clean Team initiative, partnership with United Activities Unlimited and the on-call litter response team are all part of the solution. But on Wednesday, August 6, the Borough President launched another side of this campaign, a poster initiative, encouraging the public to get involved.

“I know posters alone aren’t the answer, but building an awareness and encouraging the community to be a part of the solution is a step in that direction,” noted Oddo. The posters- which feature a cross-section of Staten Islanders – were displayed around the press room during the kick off. The BP said that he called upon some friends and those passionate about keeping the community clean to help out.

Local McDonald’s owners are partnering with the Borough President on the initiative and will display the posters in 10 locations across the borough. Stores on Forest Avenue, New Dorp Lane and others have already put the posters in their windows.
